Ken Mercer, the gift that keeps on giving

I'm in Charge of Ejukayshun!

The attached screen shot is from the Twitter profile of Ken Mercer, one of the fundamentalists who has made the Texas State Board of Education a national laughingstock. His district includes Austin south of the river. Seriously, Texans, you elected him over that English professor from Texas State-San Marcos?

And the best part is, he's been tweeting since October 2009. And he still hasn't spotted that yet? You'd think God would have pointed that out to him by now.
